क्राफ्ट्स लेन

Gate 22A in T1 is your first cue for क्राफ्ट्स लेन

Right by gates 22A/22B in T1, क्राफ्ट्स लेन is the airport’s “destination” handicraft-style shop, with more units near 23A/23B and a counter around gate 119. It runs 24x7, so it’s open for that 03:00 domestic departure or a late-evening arrival when most city shops are shut.

This is the spot for last-minute India-themed gifts before boarding at gates 22A–23B. Expect handcraft-style souvenirs, textiles, small decor pieces, and giftable knick-knacks priced from about ₹200 up into the low thousands, depending on size and material. Inventory shifts often, so you’ll usually find seasonal designs alongside the standard magnets, keychains, and soft toys.

All locations sit post-security in T1, so you don’t need to factor in extra screening time from gates 22A, 22B, 23A, 23B, or 119. Browsing a full unit takes around 10–15 minutes; add another 5 if you want items gift-wrapped or packed with extra paper for checked baggage.

Quality looks better than the basic newsstand racks you’ll see closer to the security exit, and staff at the 22A/22B store usually help check for chips or loose stitching before billing. If you’re tight on time near gate 119, that outlet works for small, quick picks like fridge magnets or coasters.

Tip: Walk to the 22A/22B branch if you can spare 10 minutes; it typically has fuller stock than the smaller displays near 119 and the 23A/23B side.
